Does anyone own a Chillcheater jacket or smock? Thinking of investing in one and wondering what owners views were?

I've got one, light, durable and totally waterproof. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Had mine for around 5 years, its beginning to let a few drops in around the neck zip due to the rubber cracking but it's defo repairable as it's only on the zip. Easily the best waterproofs I've ever owned.

Would you buy another?
 
I can't remember which size I chose? But it fits me OK. I do put a few thinner layers on underneath. It's nice and lightweight, fairly breathable at well, I don't sweat in it as much as other jackets I've owned.
 
Awesome bit of kit.Would recommend wiping it down after a session, if wet I wipe it over removing excess water hang on van passenger headrest aim heater vents at so it drys on the way home then I turn it inside out and hang it up in the house to air it out.
Quick tip for boot's in cold weather place standing up in footwell turn heaters on aiming down boot's warm up on the way to your mark then hold them in front of dash vents temp right up on full wack 30sec toasty toes to start the session now that's luxury.
